Patrick Strawbridge or Judge Lance Walker would be more traditional, solid picks. I honestly can’t think of anyone MAGA enough with a connection to Maine that Trump would nominate.

I would be very surprised if it isn’t Patrick Strawbridge, who I believe has long practiced out of Maine even though he’s formally listed with a Boston address. He would be a top Fed Soc pick in any state, let alone in a state with a small conservative bench. Though needing to keep Susan Collins on side may require some compromise.

has Kobick had any movement and does anyone know what her reputation is? does she only hire tippy top, or would 10% at a non-HYS T14 be competitive?

Interesting how the nominee, Josh Dunlap, is very similar on paper to Judge Kayatta: both federal appellate clerks who spent their entire career at Pierce Atwood.
